It was a phase I\II trial. Dafuq u on about?
Phase I\II determine efficacy and safety profiles.
In this case they are proceeding with a new cohort where the administration will be concurrent with immune suppression to counteract inflammation in the pos-op phase.
They will likely apply for a phase III after since this is an orphan drug.

Everyone who questions your orthodoxy is a nazi, got it. That type of reasoning has worked wonderfully for everyone and resulted in better government and standards of living for all trans people. Wonderful job you’ve done protecting trans people in your country, the results really show.

IMHO, the US has bigger fish to fry than transphobia, it’s ridiculous it has so much air time in the anglosphere in the face of the much more relevant inequality and destruction of association rights. The neonazis set up the bait and the idiots gobble it up, hook line and sinker.
- Comment on Delusions of a Protocol 2 weeks ago:
Legal scholar John Inazu characterized the backlash as “widespread outrage from progressive commentators” and that in some criticisms, “ad hominem attacks far outpaced their substantive critiques”.[13]
US americans are largely the same, be it trumpers or self styled liberals, they always have to be “better than” or “the best” of something. This leads to dangerous orthodoxies that don’t allow debate or discussion which furter leads to stances that are nothing but distilled anti-intellectualism. The trumpers call everything woke, the liberals call everything phobe. Meanwhile the overton window has moved so far to the right, the country elected a pedophile scam artist as president because they know him from TV and the rest of the world is left holding the bag.
- Comment on Amid EA's unpopular $55 billion buyout, Baldur's Gate 3 director takes time "to remind people that making games faster and cheaper while charging more has never worked before" 2 weeks ago:
Corporate management types are not organically recruited from experienced labour, they are from the “brahmin” echelons of society. Not only do they not understand that not all man hours are different, they have no clue of what is going on since they are recruited because of their pedigree and not competence.
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 2 weeks ago:
For years I’ve been warning whoever would listen that XboxGP, much like any other content subscription service owned by a public company would inevitably lead to a massive consumer squeeze. Fortunately it happened before MS managed to metastasise into a monopoly in gaming too. Good riddance.

- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 2 weeks ago:
It does shift review coverage, generally, toward the ones with the most advertising
but that doesn’t mean that Redfall and Suicide Squad still can’t happen and review poorly
Thank you for arguing in my favour. Both Redfall and Suicide Squad reviewed well above 50%. For people on Lemmy arguing about statistics it’s obvious the mean is shifted so anything around 75% is mediocre, however, to the average consumer, that is not the case. Furthermore, I mentioned Kane and Lynch because that game was the reason giant bomb exists and everyone nowadays knows big publishers strong-arm outlets.
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 2 weeks ago:
I’m sure Kane and Lynch are audience favorites. No reason not to think only the best games get reviewed and thus, shifting the mean 25% in the favor of the companies that just so happen to be the ones paying for advertising. It’s more likely outlets, on average, only review good games, that sounds more reasonable.
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 3 weeks ago:
Statistically, if more than half of a random sample of steam games are rated to be good, the standards for evaluation are shit.
And the people that were supposed to let us know if a game is good or not, the “professionals”, have a median score around ~75% according to open critic data, otherwise they wouldn’t have a job because sponsors would gfo.
We’re on our own shifting through a pile of de facto shovelware to find anything of worth nowadays.
It’s a problem not exclusive to games, mind you. Music, scientific publishing and other content for profit industries have the exact same issue: Vetting quality requires work so for profit institutions offload the vetting to the user.
- Comment on Memecoins Are Coming to the Stock Market 3 weeks ago:
In case everyone is sleeping let me break this down for you:
Both crypto and modern private equity are ponzi schemes. With leverage to hold on crypto and leverage on leverage to own on private equity, both industries have been a bag throwing game between investors, with managers cashing in on every trade for close to a decade. Now, the industry is cooling down, they ran out of idiot fund managers to scam into participating in their ponzi scheme so they either let the bubble burst or they find new idiots to be left holding the bag when they cash out before the catastrophe. We’re a the find new idiots phase, with the new regulatory freedom sponsored by the pedophile in chief, all of these scammers are now turning to even lower sofistication investors to buy in their ponzi scheme so they can cash out before the shit hits the fan. Case in point, new age app brokers now advertising investment in the “private markets” as a new product. I see another wealth transfer wave from the lower and middle class to the 1% happening within 2 to 3 years. It’s going to be the reason we get Nazis again in power in the civilized world.

This is not an actual breakthrough. We already have faster, cheaper and more effective ways of doing what they did, with better results. It’s called mutagenesis, it’s dirt cheap and has much better yield than 16 out of 302. Considering they paid 12-16 cents per nucleotide for the synthesis, this was a massive waste of taxpayer money to promote a project based on the buzzword du jour.
